Recommendation for a highly resolving amp
I am not sure what your budget so I can’t make a recommendation but I do not think you issue is the amplifier. Your pre-amp has a tubed output stage with 6SN7 tubes. What tubes do you have in there ? They can impact your sound significantly. You m... 
I’m in trouble
Not sure what’s going on but I have noticed way to many threads started that seem to be filled with nonsensical gibberish that are not asking anything. 
PS Audio FR-30 Speaker...
I am guessing they will sound great but the cabinet design to me leaves a lot to be desired but that's just my opinion.  For 15k there are a lot of speakers that sound AND look incredible.  All I can say is that I hope these punch way above their ...

I recently picked up the RS2 T and compared it to both ripped AIFF files stored on my Aurender N100H and also streaming Qobuz from the same Aurender.  The RS2 gives a noticeable increase in soundstage depth, transparency, and fine details.  Horns ...

I just read a post on another forum complaining about excessive noise coming from some of these pro-ject rs2 transports. For the people that own them can you comment if you have heard any excessive noise when spinning disc’s ?  
If you own quality monitor speakers you want to read this new review
Tejay, in your review published review you mention that you had jumper cables made to connect the monitors to the sub.  So would it be correct to say that you connect your monitors to the sub and then connect the sub to your amp.  You set the cros...
